Reports which have recently been re-
ceived in Cheyenne are to the effect that
a number of ranchmen whose ranches are
out in the vicinity of Twin Buttes and
south of that point, are extremely indig-
nant because parties who own large tracts
of land in that region are pasturing their
sheep around and even upon the land
which they have purchased. They also
complain bitterly of the hardships TO
which they claim to have been subjected
in the purchase of this land. Many of
them settled upon the land years ago
when it belonged to the railroad company,
and under a subsequent agreement, as
they claim hat when the land was thrown
into the market they should have the
preference as purchasers.

While there is a prospect that there
may be some trouble and litigation in re-
gard to the right to the waters of Crow
creek in the vicinity of Cheyenne, and in
which the city itself will no doubt play a
part, it seems hat farther up toward the
foot hills there has been and still is much
trouble over the same subject.
The latest news received in reference
to trouble at that end of the line was
brought to town by Deputy Assessor II.
l.. Fisher. From him it was learned that
trouble there has of late been quite seri-
Gus between prominent .ranchmen. On
one occasion it seemed very much as
though shot guns would be brought out,
but nothing quite so serious has thus far
happened, and it is hoped that there will
be no violence resorted to. One of the
results of the trouble in that section has
been to turn the waters of North Crow
creek into the Middle Crow creek, under
the theory and idea hat the latter is really
the main channel of the creek. This has
of course caused dissatisfaction. and hence
the existing controversy among ranchmen
in that vicinity.

The Practice OF Vaccination.

Vaccination is now occupying a
great part of the time of physicians
who have charge of families. One Of
the reasons why vaccination is so gen.
eral here is that children who have not
been vaccinated are not received into
the public schools, and another reason
is that the insurance companies now
make successful vaccination an indis-
pensable requirement in examining ap-
plicants for insurance. 1 am often
asked by parents when their children
are old enough to be vaccinated and l
always advise them not to have it done
until the child is at least year old. If
done before the age the operation is
likely to result in serious disturbance
of the child's health on account of the
very delicate organism of the infant.
As well recognized prevention of dis
sease as vaccination has become, there
are still many people who bitterly op-
pose it, and l know number of these
personally who are in other respects
very sensible. One of them is a news
paper editor of this city, who firmly
believes he had scrofula vaccinated
into him when he was child. In
Europe the opponents vaccination have
gone so far as to form anti vaccination
societies, with the end of discouraging
the practice; but prejudice has not yet
got so far as that in the United states.

A Landmark Restored.

The work of restoring the old SEN
ate-house at Kingston, n. Y :, in which
the first constitution of the State was
framed and signed, is being vigorously
prosecuted, and by Dec. Is the historic
building will look exactly as it did dur
ing the great struggle for American in
dependence. The unsightly frame ad-
ditions have been removed, and the
old broad fireplace and quaint kitchen
have been restored with careful detail.
While at work in the cellar of the
building workmen have unearthed an
old iron kettle. This vessel was owned
by the Beekman family before Kings
ton was burned by the British, and is
therefore over century old. The ket-
tie is the one referred to by Mrs. Mary
Westbrook Van Deusen, of this city,
and sister of the late Judge West
brook, in her story Of the Revolution.
Mush was being made in the kettle, to
be partaken of by the guests of birth
day party given in honor of the hero
inc of the story in question, when the
British came, and the kettle with other
things was hurriedly put out of sight,
to see the light for the first time to-
day at the end of a hundred years of
freedom and progress. State Archi-
tect Perry has arrived to take posses
sion of the building in behalf Of the
State. The price to be paid Marius
SHOEMAKER, the owner, is $4,000
which will leave 1000 to pay for the
improvements and for the salary of
the prospective keeper for one year.

Grim Subject.
From the London Lancet.

From the London Lancet.
If those are to be believed who, hav-
ing been more or less hanged, have
been resuscitated and have narrated
their experiences, the much-commiser-
ated victim of the laws extreme pen
atty is not wholly miserable. 1t would
seem that death "sus. per COLL" has
it's ameliorating condition of circum-
stances. One sufferer in the religious
cause in France is said to have ''com.
planned" because he was called back
to consciousness from an experience
of surprising delights, in which he en-
joyed the pleasure of gazing upon the
most beautiful scenery. The lmmedi-
ate sensation of pain is momentary;
and it would appear not unlikely
that, in our anxiety for the avoid
ance of needless annoyance of those
we put to death judicially, we may be
actually increasing their sufferings
and diminishing their pleasure.
The instantaneous deaths have all
the pain and little or none of the
pleasure. Slowly induced congestion
of the brain may be the least painful,
and if only the blood pressure be eff
fectually raised at the center that sees,
the beautiful light and charming seem
cry are enjoyed in the highest perfec-
ton. The subject is grim one, and
we are not quite sure that the new
view of hanging experience tends to
make the death penalty increasingly
deterrent; but it is right that both
sides of q question which the late
Mr.. Whalley once excited the mer-
riment of the house of commons by
describing as "a poor mans question"
should be carefully considered at all
costs.

Rich cypsies,

From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
have no doubt that half million
of the million and half gypsies we
now have among us are what are
known among the Romany as drom
gypsies-that is, gypsies of the road;
gypsies whose heritage Of patriarchal
and pllgriming tradition will no more
permit them to herd in towns, save
out of necessity, than will foxes. OF
these, as 1 have previously stated in
print, have names and addresses of
nearly 1000 heads of families, or
petty tribes, whose combined wealth
exceeds $2OO,OOO,OOO. Hosts aside
from these have gained or are securing
little properties. These largely con-
sist of fine farms, country tavern
stands, toll-gate privileges, tracts of
woodland of which they are very
fond, livery and sales stables in the
smaller towns and villages. and. not
infrequently, extensive town proper
ties, particularly the larger sales
stables in metropolitan cities. Thou
sands are able to live comfortably
without effort upon rentals and other
incomes. But they are never idle,
and they never fail OF passing some
portion OF each summer upon the
road. Their tradings, or prepare
tions for trading, never cease; nor
does their fortune telling, tor the wife
OF gypsy worth $25O.O0O-and

one of these-will as nimblv tell your
fortune for silver as would the wife Of

One of the most conspicuous ten
denotes of the times is the increasing
activity of woman as an independent
factor in the worlds progress. Within
the last twenty years she has made
wonderful advancement in the line Of
self assertion. There is o-day scarce
ly any avocation and no profession in
which she does not shine. She is in
the pulpit. She runs for office. She
feeds the sick on physic. She is the
ministering angel of hospitals. She
pleads before the public tribunals.
She edits newspapers. She writes more
books than man. She is school
teacher. She is an inventor. She
draws big salaries on the stage. She
works in factories. She manages large
stores. She is cashier, clerk, book
keeper, and everything else that man
makes a living by. The queer things
that she has accomplished are illus
trated in the curious fact that the best
livestock reporter in this country is a
young lady.
There is no doubt that her competi-
elon 10 giving 1Adu q OAoSO ioCO'
Thousands of young men loaf around
the street corners and complain of not
being able to get situations; but while
they loaf the young women secure the
places, do the work, and draw the
salaries.
And it is not only in subordinate
positions that women accomplish good
results. AS a director of large enter
prises she has shown her capacity and
ability. A dozen instances could be
cited of where she has made fortunes
by judicious management and fore
sight. The complete list of women in
this country who have made themselves
rich would cause nine men out of ten
to open their eyes wide in astonish-
ment.
It is about time for men to stop re-
ferring to woman as the weaker vessel.
She is his equal, and unless he con-
tinues to hustle she may become his
superior. american.

CAN'T GO BEHIND THEM,

There is great intensity Of the physical
condition sometimes, and there are facts
which we cannot go behind. In illustra-
ton further Of facts which settle the points
of prompt and permanent cure, the fol-
lowing cases are cited: In 1884 Mrs. Mary
K. Sheed suffered terribly with chronic
neuralgia. She writes from lilo Maryland
Avenue, Washington, d. G. In the first in
stance she states II suffered terribly with
neuralgia in the face; very severe attack
extending to back and shoulders; suffered
intensely. Tried st. Jacobs Oil; had parts
well rubbed at night, in the morning all
pain gone magically." June 10, 1887, she
writes from 224 Eleventh Street, S. W., as
follows: "Four years ago sent you vol
untary certificate setting forth the fact that
l had been great sufferer with neuralgia in
my face, neck and shoulders. obtained a
bottle of st. Jacobs Oil, and after three ap-
plications l was entirely relieved from all
pain, and from that time to the present
have never had return. The effect was
miraculous" Again, Feb. 6, 1887, Mr.. r.
G. Troll, st. Louis, Mo-, writes: SIN March,
1884, | suffered terribly with neuralgia !; had
suffered nearly three years. Applied St.
Jacobs Oil at 8.15 A. M. at $40 took the
rag off; at 9 A. NJ. went to work. In less
than five minutes after that the pain was
not had return Of it since" Mr.. E. w.
Spangler, York, Pa. June II, 1887, writes:
Years ago had neuralgia; am not subject TO
it now. The cure by the use of st. Jacobs
Oil was permanent. There has been no re-
currence Of the painful affection" Chas.
w. Law, Jr., Pottstown, Pa, April 10, 1887
writes 'Was troubled for years with neu-
ralgia in neck and head. Tried st. Jacobs
Oil; had tried different kinds of remedies
without effect. One bottle of the former did the
business. No return of pain and aches" In
almost every instance the reports are the same.

Much has been written and said about
how to make home happy. The moralist
and the preacher have hackneyed this
theme until it would seem nothing more
remained to be said. But the philoso-
pliers have gone far out OF their way to &C
count for the prevalence OF ill-assorted
couples and unhappy homes. and have
overlooked the chief cause. Most OF the
unhappiness OF married life can be traced
directly to those functional arrangements
to which women are subject. In nine
cases out OF ten the irritable, dissatisfied
and unhappy wife is a sufferer from some
''female complaint" A trial OF DR.. Pierce's
